Gardener, 39,
found dead
A KEEN gardener and father-of-four
was found dead in one of his greenhouses.
Shaun Bisby and his youngest
daughter Jessica, nine, kept an
allotment to the rear of their home
at Harold Avenue, Lundwood.
Mr Bisby, 39, who worked at
Safestyle windows, Wombwell, had
been on the plot preparing for the
new season.
He was discovered on Sunday,
February 10, and it is thought he
might have been overcome by
fumes from a paraffin heater.
An inquest has been opened and
adjourned.

BY ADAM CIVICO
TEACHERS at a secondary
school are staging a three-day
strike this week as a dispute
over pay has escalated.
NUT members at Darton High
School walked out yesterday morning
and will not return to work until
Friday.
A second three-day stoppage is
planned for next week unless the pay
row can be resolved. The union’s
Barnsley secretary Pete Bevis says his
members have been forced into the
action because the school’s management has reneged on a pay deal
agreed in 2006.
He says some senior teachers could
have thousands cut from their salaries
as a result of the school's refusal to
honour the agreement.
Mr Bevis said: “Responsibility for this
unprecedented action by members of
the NUT at Darton High School is
entirely the fault of the school management.
“NUT members do not wish to take
strike action for a single day never
mind three but have been forced into

this situation. Members of the NUT
had every reason to expect that an
agreement, freely entered into by the
school management, would not be
reneged on.
“This is now not just an issue about
salary loss but also about honesty,
integrity and trust.”
But headteacher Simon Hill says he
is following national guidelines on pay
and said he was disappointed strikes
were being held.
He said: “I am extremely surprised
that a teachers' union would take the
decision to try to close a school for so
many days at such a crucial time for
young people.
“We are not talking about redundancies we are talking about a minor
loss of pay because of a regrading.”
He said the school would be open for
different year groups on different days
as the strike continues. Priority would
be given to year 11 students, who are
studying for their GCSE exams, and
year nine students who will sit national exams this year.
There are 60 teachers at the school,
half of whom are members of that
union.

Distraught: Homeowner Angela Nayar whose home has suffered six
car crashes while she has lived there. Below, the car just after it
entered her front room, inset, the sign Angela made for her side
entrance door in case it happens again.

ANGELA Nayar has made a sign
to hang on her door telling the
fire brigade how many people
are in her house in case another
car crashes into the front room.
Six cars have smashed into the house
while she has lived there. A driver lost
control of a car on the corner of Station
Road and Stonyford Road and ended
up inside her Ings Road home last
week.
The sign on her side door – she does
not use the front door because it keeps
getting crashed into – says 'In the
event of further impact on this house
please rescue seven cats and (one) people', but there is also a dial which can
be moved to show the correct number
of people in the house at all times.
Angela, 60, now plans to set the dial
every time someone comes home, or a
visitor arrives. She is terrified there

could be another crash bringing the
whole house down.
In the latest crash the front of the car
went through the wall into the front
room and sent the front door flying off
its hinges. A large amount of brickwork
was dislodged and fire-fighters, fearing
there could be a collapse, hurried Mrs
Nayar out of her home and advised her
not to go back in.
She said: "I was asleep when it happened and by the time I came downstairs the police and fire brigade were
already there. They were asking how
many people were in the house so I
decided I would make the sign in case
it happens again.
"It's the sixth time it's happened.

A RIDE-ON lawnmower
worth £1,800 belonging to
Darfield Junior Football
Club has been stolen from
a locked container near the
pitch.
The mower was less than
a year old, and was paid
for through fund-raising
and subscriptions of the
young players. But the club
has no more money to buy
a replacement and it was
not insured.
The club's Brian Lee said:
"Thank you very much to
the person who stole this
from the young people of
Darfield. I hope they see
this and feel ashamed of
themselves."
The mower was red with
a black seat. Anyone with
information should call
Barnsley police on 736030
and quote crime number
626.

I've gone past feeling devastated now.
It must have felt like this during the
war with the air raids. You're just waiting for the next hit all the time. But
with me it's not bombs, it's waiting for
the next car."
The front of the house was propped
up with metal jacks on Friday night by
the council and steel shutters were put
up to cover the car-shaped hole.
This sixth crash is the third where a
car has gone into the front room.
Angela has not used it as a sitting room
for several years since the first crash.
She uses it like a shed to store bikes and
tools.
Angela said: "What I really want is
some of those barriers they have on the
motorway to stop cars hitting the
house. And I really think something
should be done to slow traffic down. It
wasn't as bad before they resurfaced
the road when there were bumps and
potholes. They didn't go as fast then,
but now it's like an airport runway.
"I'm going to write to the highways
department. I'd like them to come and
look at the damage and tell me the
road does not need traffic calming."
Alan Carnall, assistant director for
the council's highways department,
said: "This matter has been raised by
the residents who live around this corner. We have arranged for speed measuring devices to be installed in this
location following which we will be
looking to see what we can do to
improve matters." He added that the
council expects to resolve this matter in
the next two to three months.

Coun Hanley who stepped down because of work commitments said it would be unfair to continue in the position.
It is now thought the council will also accept the move.
Coun Vodden lost his seat on the borough council to

A NEW altar has been installed at a
church in Grimethorpe using the 14th
century stone plinth of the Boundary of
the Cross.
The Lady Stone which has provided
the base for the altar in St Luke's
Church was installed on Tuesday.
Father Peter Needham said: “I'm
thrilled to bits, it is a work of art.”

But if anyone comes along
with a lighter it can cause a
fire.”
He said the colourless
and odourless gas could
only catch fire if it was
ignited by a naked flame or
spark.
Mr Parkes said the
methane was leaking from
either the former pit or
sewers through several
grates in the ground.
He added that large funnels are usually placed
where the methane is leaking to allow it to vent off
into the atmosphere.

Bad day on Trainline for Robert
BY STEPH JOHNSON
IT seemed a simple
enough plan. Town centre
newsagent Robert Teal
and friends wanted to travel to Liverpool by train.
He booked and paid for
the
tickets
with
Trainline.com two weeks
before the game and as he
hit the send button he
began to look forward to a
day out without the hassle
of the motorway.
But when a confirmation
e-mail arrived minutes
later the mailing address
was Darton's boarded up
and flooded out post
office, a few doors down
from his home.
Robert couldn't convince
Trainline staff their computer system had made an
error and was told to call
back the day before travel
if the tickets didn't turn
up.
Concerned, he rang back
three days before the big
match only to discover the
tickets would not be reissued as he didn't live at

the mailing address - and
he couldn’t get a refund
without returning them.
Then Robert found out
his bank details were on
another person’s Trainline
account.
He used a friend’s computer to set up his own
account but the bookings
ended up listed with David
Jenkins’ transactions.

It’s pies, peas and pints
to attract caring men
BY JULIAN THORPE
THE COUNCIL is using
footy, beer and pies to
encourage men to take up
a career in childcare.
A group of male childcare
workers spoke to men at a
meeting in Oakwell on
Wednesday, when they
were encouraged with a
free pint, a Barnsley FC
goody bag and pie and
peas. The aim was to
encourage them to go into

present dominated by

said: “There is a common
preconception that looking
after children is women’s

BABY TWINS EVACUATED
BY EMMA SPENCER
TWENTY residents, including eight children and three
week-old twins, were evacuated in below zero temperatures when a neighbour’s van caught fire.
The families on Coltfield,
Birdwell, were asked to leave on
Tuesday morning because of
fears that heat from the fire
could cause the gas cylinders in
the works van to explode.
People were taken to Tankersley
Manor to keep warm and provided with breakfast and drinks

while fire crews spent the day at
the scene cooling the cylinders
and police cordoned off the
street.
The drama unfolded at about
6.30am on Tuesday as Chris
Woodhouse, a refrigeration engineer, de-iced the van and his
partner’s car before leaving for
work.
He popped back into the house
to say ‘bye’ to Amanda Gore and
their five -month- old baby Oliver
but when he went back outside
the van was on fire and he heard
two bangs.
Amanda said: “He has de-iced

the cars every morning since it
has been frosty. It was all quite a
shock, I had sorted Oliver out;
Chris said he was going and I
went upstairs to get dressed.
“I heard him banging on the
back door and just thought he
had forgot something but he said
‘the van’s on fire, ring the fire
brigade, it’s going to go up, get
out now."
Another neighbour, Matthew
Lowe was leaving for work
around the same time and heard
an explosion.
He said: “I ran out to see what it
was and just saw all these flames

and the van on fire. I put the kids
in the car with the heaters on,
phoned the fire brigade but they
were already on their way.”
Police from Hoyland SNT and
fire crews from Tankerlsey and
Barnsley were at the scene until
5pm working in freezing fog and
temperatures as low as minus 4.
None of the cylinders exploded.
Council workers were drafted in
to grit the street to prevent water
used by fire crews from freezing
and the cylinders were taken
away on Wednesday morning.

LANDLORDS FACING BAN
ON PAVEMENT SMOKERS
BY ADAM CIVICO
SMOKING will be banned on the
street outside pubs and cafes in
the town centre, if new guidelines
published by Barnsley Council are
adopted.
It is thought Barnsley could become the
first town in the country to adopt the
hard-line approach.
Landlords and cafe owners would face
having their £250-a-year street cafe
licence revoked – it allows them to serve
alcohol on the pavement outside their
premises – if customers disobey the regulations.
The new rules, contained in a council
document titled ‘Guidelines for street
cafes: Barnsley town centre’, state: “As of

April 1, the licensed cafe area will be a nosmoking area.
“It will be the responsibility of the applicant to ensure that customers are reminded of this. If it is noted that on three separate occasions customers are witnessed to
be smoking, then the licence will be
revoked.”
Drinkers would still be allowed to smoke
outside pubs in private beer gardens. But
shocked licensees think the move is a step
too far.
Paul McNicholas runs Durty O’Dwyer’s
Irish pub and is chairman of the town
centre pubwatch which is objecting to the
guidelines. He is ready to challenge the
council over the issue.
He said: “I feel so strongly about this I
would be prepared to go to court. There is

no other area in the country even contemplating it. It would be difficult to
enforce.”
He said pubwatch members had been
stunned when the issue was discussed at
a meeting last Thursday.
Paul has spent about £9,000 on
awnings, tables and heaters so punters
can sit outside his pub on Market Hill
and enjoy a pint and a cig.
“Having the outside area has compensated me and evened things out since the
smoking ban. These new guidelines
could be the difference between bars surviving and not.”
Walkabout manager Greg Harding
echoed his views. He has a street drinking area in front of the pub at the junction of Market Hill and Shambles Street
but says the new rules would make it
untenable.
“I think it is ridiculous. The council
offered us the lease of that land to get
people out front and bring a bit of
colour to the town. This rule would
make it untenable for us to continue taking this space from the council.”
The idea originated from the council’s
environmental department, headed by
Coun Roy Miller, and does have tentative support from Lucorum manager,
Jim Barrell.
He said: “We have an outside garden
area at the back where people can
smoke. If the council were to adopt the
ban we would accept it and we are reasonably supportive.”
Coun Miller said the proposal was still
at consultation stage and the booklet
had been produced so licensees could
make informed comments.

Talking about your
money worries is hard.
Keeping quiet makes things worse
WHEN she couldn’t work because of
a wrist injury, Sharon decided she
would borrow some money and pay it
back once she was better.
But Sharon’s injury didn’t improve
and three years later the supermarket
cashier was still out of work.
She was also saddled with a £1,000
debt that she was repaying at £37 a
week. Two years later she had paid
£3,800, but still owed £600.
“It seemed like a good idea at the
time. I really needed the money,” she
said.
“But with three children and being a
single parent, it was crippling.”
Sharon borrowed the cash from a
doorstep lender who regularly
knocked on doors on her estate.
But Sharon soon realised she
couldn’t cover the debt and that she
was paying back more than three
times the amount she had borrowed.
“Things started to get really
stressful. All I could think about was
how I was going to get the money to
pay this debt. We had to start
scrimping on food and I was really
worried I wasn’t going to be able to
pay the rent.”

It was thanks to an old school
friend that Sharon found a way out.
“They had borrowed money from
the local credit union,” she said. “I
didn’t know anything about them, but
when I went along it was eyeopening.
“They were really friendly and didn’t
judge me. They gave me a loan to
repay the doorstep lender. I then
repaid them at a much more
manageable rate.”
Sharon also started saving a small
amount each week with the credit
union so by the time it came to
Christmas she had £300 put by.
“It was fantastic. I bought the kids
some great toys and bought new
decorations to make the house look
really special.”
The confidence this gave Sharon
helped her get a new job working in a
local shop.
If you are in a similar situation to
Sharon there is a way out. Call the
free Now Let’s Talk Money helpline

TRYING to cope with money
problems on your own can be very
stressful. If you ignore your money
worries, it usually makes them worse.
You may think you need a loan, but
perhaps all you need is advice on
how to make your money go further.
‘now let’s talk money’ is a free
service provided by the government
to help people who are on low
incomes. When you phone us we’ll
help you to find local organisations
that can help you with your money
problems.
If you do need to borrow money
you need to be careful about who you
borrow it from.
Some lenders are illegal and
charge very high interest rates, which

means you end up paying back much
more than you borrowed. If you
phone us, we can tell you about
lenders near to you, such as credit
unions, who won’t charge you as
much.
You might think a bank account
isn’t for you -- maybe you’ve tried
before and been turned down. But it
could help you save money. We can
make sure you talk to the right people

BRING ON CHELSEA
BY ANDREW LODGE
THERE was no fear to be
found at Oakwell when former player Geoff Thomas
plucked out Barnsley’s ball
and handed them a FA Cup
quarter-final home tie
against holders Chelsea.
Just unbelievable, unableto-contain excitement.
In the words of Barnsley
boss Simon Davey: “Bring it
on!”
The Reds, fresh from their
astonishing
Anfield
giantkilling, will tackle
moneybags Chelsea on
Saturday, March 8.
Welshman Davey reckons
it is the glamour tie of the
last eight.
And he’s not alone. The
BBC have chosen to show
the match live, in their
prime Saturday teatime

kick-off slot of 5.30pm. And
they will hand the Reds
£265,000 for the privilege.
The tie alone could net the
club between £400,000 and
£500,000, according to
chairman
Gordon
Shepherd, who also estimates that the Reds’ run to
the sixth round is worth
between £700,000 and
£800,000.
Even with BBC live coverage, Oakwell is likely to be
packed to its 23,186 capacity (less segregation) for the
battle with the Roman
empire of Abramovichbacked Chelsea.
And for the winners there
is the juicy trip to the newlook Wembley for a semifinal.
Reds boss Davey simply
can’t wait to have a crack at
Chelsea.
“We have a world
renowned team with some

of the best players anywhere coming here to
Oakwell – and it is one to
look forward to with real
excitement and anticipation.
“We should not fear them.
Yes, they are a fantastic side
who are one of the big four
in this country, and going
for the quadruple, but anything can happen in the
cup, as we proved at
Anfield.
“Hand on heart I was was
hoping for Bristol Rovers or
a Championship club at
home in the draw, to be in
with a good chance of getting to a Wembley semifinal. But they all came out
early.
“But when Chesea were
left and we came out at
home against them, I
thought ‘we’ll take some of
that!”
“We have lost only twice
at home this season, so
although Chelsea will be
favourites we feel we can
give anybody a game
Simon Davey and his players react to being paired with
here.”
● The last time Barnsley Chelsea in the FA Cup quarter-finals.
played Chelsea at home
was 1997-98. The London
Picture: Keith Turner.
giants won 6-0 that day!
● But if the Reds want a
good luck omen they
should look to 1989. That is
the only other time the two

teams have met in the FA
WITHOUT ANOTHER
